Volkswagen has created a website for customers who may be affected by the company's recent emissions cheating scandal, which included at least 500,000 vehicles in the U.S. The website allows customers to learn more about what they should do, while VW moves forward and tries to fix their wrongdoings.

VW was found to be using a special software in some of their vehicles that allowed them to pass emissions tests. The software was able to recognize when the vehicle was being tested and limited its pollution during that time. When cars weren't being tested, they were said to be polluting at levels from 10 to 40 times above the Environmental Protection Agency's limits.

VW's American CEO Michael Horn greets visitors on the homepage in both video and in text. He apologizes for the ongoing scandal and promises to find a solution as soon as possible.

"We are committed to making this right and preventing it from ever happening again. We will bring these TDI vehicles into compliance with the federal and state emissions regulations," he says.

Horn tells customers not to worry and to continue driving their cars as normal. He says that vehicles should pass emissions tests when they go to get their registration renewed.

These are the vehicles in the U.S. that VW is listing as part of the problem:

  • VW Jetta TDI (Model Years 2009 - 2015)
  • VW Jetta SportWagen TDI (Model Years 2009-2014)
  • VW Golf TDI (Model Years 2010-2015)
  • VW Golf SportWagen TDI (Model Year 2015)
  • VW Beetle TDI and VW Beetle Convertible TDI (Model Years 2012 - 2015)
  • VW Passat TDI (Model Years 2012-2015)

In Europe, where VW makes one out of every four vehicles sold, millions of additional vehicles, including the luxury brand Audi, are also affected.

The German government is requiring VW to find a fix to the problem by Oct. 7, but it will probably take much longer, The Verge reports.
